Baig, Mirza Barjees
Dr. Baig is a Professor at the Prince Sultan Institute for Environmental,Water and Desert Research, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. Heearned his MS degree in International Agricultural Extension in 1992 from the Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA and was placed on the “Roll of Honor”. He completed his Ph.D. in Extension for Natural ResourceManagement from the University of Idaho, USA and was honored with the“1995 outstanding graduate student award”. Dr. Baig has published extensively onthe issues associated with natural resources in national andinternational journals. He has also presented issues in agriculture and natural resources and the role of extension education at various international conferences. Food waste, watermanagement, degradation of environment and natural resources, and their relationship withsociety/community are his areas of interest. He has attempted to develop strategies to conservenatural resources, promote environment, and develop sustainable communities. Dr. Baig started his scientific career in 1983 as a researcher at the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, Islamabad, Pakistan. He served at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada as the Special Graduate Faculty from 2000-2005. He served as a Foreign Professor at the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), Pakistan through Higher Education Commission from 2005-2009.

He is a member of editorial boards of many international journals and professional organizations.
Sraïri, Mohamed Taher
Dr. Sraïri is a Senior Lecturer in Animal Science at the Hassan II Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine Institute (IAV), Rabat, Morocco. He is currently the Head of the School of Agricultural Sciences at IAV. Dr.Sraïri completed his Ph.D in 2004 from the Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech University, Belgium. He has an experience of 26 years in research on topics related to crop-livestock systems in Morocco with a focus on dairy production. His research activities have allowed him to publish more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in international journals, as well as the participation in several conferences dedicated to livestock and agricultural sciences. He has also been associated to reviewing several manuscripts submitted to international scientific journals. He is mainly interested in crop-livestock integration, with an emphasis on resources use efficiency, particularly land, water, and work. As a consequence, he had achieved on-farm research in semi-arid to arid areas on water productivity in crop-livestock systems, in contexts where farms are in majority smallholder units, with a focus on the origin
of water (whether rainfall or irrigation from surface or groundwater sources). This has necessitated an accurate characterization of the resources uses (volumes of water and hours of work) and the yields and profitability they allowed by crops and livestock products. He is currently involved in a global research network dealing with work uses in farming systems andtheir consequences on the attractiveness of agriculture, particularly for young generations. He is also involved in research activities with a transdisciplinary team in the oases areas, where global changes (climate, social, etc.) are severely impacting farming systems, putting at risk their resilience, in a context of severe resource scarcity.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The resilience of food systems and security to emerging challenges and threats, especially in the context of environmental and climate risks and global pandemics such as the Covid-19 crisis, is currently gaining growing importance in research, policy, and practice. Based on this, the core focus of this book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, consists of identifiying and exploring the best ways to overcome such challenges and shocks and to build resilience in the Global South. More precisely, the book analyzes current dynamics and trends related to the climate resilience of food security and assess the relevance of emerging approaches such as climate-smart agriculture, new roles of agriculture extension, smart farming, and climate adaptation of farming systems.The book includes both conceptual and empirical research reporting lessons learned from many geographical, environmental, social, and policy settings while focusing on Africa, Middle East, and Asia. It also provides research and policy-oriented inputs and recommendations to guide change processes at multiple scales.
